I’m pretty sure every candy sale that I’ve ever done or witness that involved a case of chocolate, ended with the packs of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups being sold out first. And there is good reason for it: it’s just delicious. On the shelves of Trader Joe’s we’ve seen the addition of two new “cups”…
Arugula Pesto
This peppery Arugula Pesto deviates from the classic pesto with the substitution of arugula for basil and almonds in place of pine nuts. The result is just as tasty, but bright and peppery. This recipe is also gluten-free, low-carb, and keto friendly. With one substitution, this recipe can also be made vegan.
Trader Joe’s Onion and Chive Cream Cheese Spread
A bagel and a schmear. As a life long New Yorker, I’m pretty sure there is a certain amount of Yiddish that has been added infused into the local lexicon. And when it comes to bagels there is a reason for this.
Trader Joe’s Creamy Chicken and Poblano Ravioli
Finally. Something that can be considered real food. An actual meal. The past month, all the new items that have landed in store have been more or less junk food. I’ve had enough of cookies and sweets for a bit. Well, if it weren’t for one last lap around the store, I would have missed…
Trader Joe’s Neapolitan Puffs Cereal
Neapolitan. The classic pairing of vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate. We first saw this recently with the seasonally available Neapolitan Joe Joe’s. Now we are seeing it in Trader Joe’s Neapolitan Puffs Cereal. Soon, we will revisit this combination where it all started: in ice cream but with Joe Joe’s. Yup, they seem to be capitalizing…
Cadillac Margarita
This top shelf Cadillac Margarita uses premium ingredients of tequila and orange liqueur to ensure a top shelf margarita. This recipe is ready in 5 minutes or less and is perfect for Cinco de Mayo, National Margarita Day (February 22nd), or just a day when you need a classic yet high-end drink, but don’t want…
Trader Joe’s Ruby Cacao Wafers
Behold! A perfectly timed product gracing shelves in time for Valentine’s Day that is chocolate, but quite different. The color you are seeing here is not the result of coloring of any sort. And apparently, this is a new type of chocolate you can be sure that you’ll be seeing more of whether you find…
Trader Joe’s Best Frozen Foods
So far, I’ve reviewed almost 300 items in the freezer section alone. So what are Trader Joe’s Best Frozen Foods? Some of the items are available year round. Other items and are seasonal. I think it’s worthwhile to see what was most loved. Perhaps you’ll see items you are familiar with. Others you might have…
Trader Joe’s February 2019 Fearless Flyer Matchups
Welcome to the first product specific Fearless Flyer of the year. My goal here with this Trader Joe’s February 2019 Fearless Flyer Matchups are to match the products featured with reviews from this blog and from around the web. If there is a picture next to the product, it is matched with a review from…
Trader Joe’s Candy Coated Chocolate Peanuts
I guess Trader Joe’s was feeling many people’s resolve about New Year’s Resolutions. They knew we would cave. So they came out with a long list of sugary items to expedite this process. They’ve welcomed vegan cookies, sunflower seed butter cups, and now these.
Trader Joe’s Pancake Bread
I love a good coffee cake. In fact, I posted a recipe here for an easy crumb cake just the other night if you feel like turning your oven on. If you aren’t in baking, here is a store bought option for you. However, this Trader Joe’s Pancake Bread isn’t quite a coffee cake. It’s not…
Crumb Cake
Here is a recipe straight from my Mom’s cookbook. This Crumb Cake recipe is super simple, but always impresses who ever tries it. This recipe features lots and lots of that amazing cinnamon spiced crumb topping that wows every time. Perfect for entertaining and sharing.
Trader Joe’s Chocolate Brownie and Vanilla Creme Sandwich Cookies
Vegan cookie review part deux. I figured these cookies need separate reviews. This cookie right here has certain similarities to the lemon variety like the fact it’s vegan, the cookies are huge, and they are new to shelves. However, the taste on these are quite different.
Trader Joe’s Lemon Creme Sandwich Cookies
Consider this a brief lemon theme between these cookies and a recent review of a candle. But on my most recent shopping trip there were a few new items hiding in the fresh breads and desserts aisle. In my local store, that happens to be right when I walk in. So grabbed both and hoped…
Trader Joe’s Rose Oil Ultra Moisturizing Hand Cream
So, it’s that time of year where certain rose themed items are making their way back on to store shelves. Now, the popular Rose Facial Toner is available all year-long. However, there were two rose themed items that come and go: this and Rose Facial Oil. And while I haven’t seen the facial oil back…
